- It is with a heavy heart that we now see the need to close the theatre's public activities for the next three weeks.
Our balanced assessment is that it is the only reasonable thing to do to take our social responsibility in the current situation, says Maria Groop Russel, CEO of Dramaten, in a press release.
Eight productions are affected by the decision.
Elektra, Liv Strömquist thinks of herself, May and Red Snake are already played, but canceled.
The performances Ambulance, Drunk, Waiting to Go and Welcome to Sweden are moved forward.
Everyone who has bought tickets will be contacted by Dramaten's customer service to get their money back.
What happens after November 19 is unclear at present.
At that date, a new assessment awaits.
- Now we hope that the infection curves turn downwards so that we can soon meet the audience again, says Maria Groop Russel in the press release.
